cifs: improve symlink handling for smb2+
When creating inode for symlink, the client used to send below requests to fill it in: * create+query_info+close (STATUS_STOPPED_ON_SYMLINK) * create(+reparse_flag)+query_info+close (set file attrs) * create+ioctl(get_reparse)+close (query reparse tag) and then for every access to the symlink dentry, the ->link() method would send another: * create+ioctl(get_reparse)+close (parse symlink) So, in order to improve: (i) Get rid of unnecessary roundtrips and then resolve symlinks as follows: * create+query_info+close (STATUS_STOPPED_ON_SYMLINK + parse symlink + get reparse tag) * create(+reparse_flag)+query_info+close (set file attrs) (ii) Set the resolved symlink target directly in inode->i_link and use simple_get_link() for ->link() to simply return it.
